Descripción
This paper examines the economic, environmental
and energy use impacts of a corn based
ethanol industry on Western New York state. A
regional linear programming model is used. Five
representative farm groups are used to describe
the agricultural sector of the study region.
Comparisons are made between a benchmark solution
and model formulations that include conservation
tillage practices, ethanol induced feed price
changes, and the feeding of the feed by-product, DDG.
